Make your own mini torch

Description

This is taken from the 'Make, Do, Share' section of the Scout magazine from Spring 2019.

Your section will discover how to build a simple torch and learn about circuits: how they work and how to construct one. The bent leg of the LED acts as the ‘switch’; when pressed, the two contact strips of the LED light connect to complete the circuit. This allows the electricity to flow and power the LED.
